I'm certainly not saying they were right but that was the norm and accepted behaviour then, fortunately we've learnt and moved on. " Yep . Agreed , and it’s what I grew up with . I’m glad it’s better now , but I have problems talking from the same page as my old man now . Imagine how hard it must be for people like him in his eighties now . | |||

"As much as we despair over humans, it's refreshing to see these period pieces that show how far we've come in a few years. " Yes there is that! | |||

"Human history is always one to change and progress, the generation hasn’t, and never will, exist that won’t look back and things that happened previously and say ‘how on earth was that happening then?’ - it’s the nature of the evolution of our species - best not to get too hung up about what what was acceptable previously and just celebrate that we keep moving forward Remember the next generation will be saying the same about us in a few years too I guarantee it!" This is true - I was just astonished that the views that were aired on tv in my lifetime were so supremacist. | |||

I was trying to explain to my children the racism, sexism and homophobia that we grew up surrounded by. We watched a similar program together, there was one on recently about racism in football too. They were horrified! Hopefully their generation will keep pushing forward. | |||

This is true - I was just astonished that the views that were aired on tv in my lifetime were so supremacist." Some of the views accepted as the norm nowadays are pretty awful. I think adverts are a pretty good indicator of where we stand in a politically correct context. For example there are nods towards asian consumers, the more realistic woman and gender issues. | |||

"Im wondering what they would think of us in 30 years time. I witnessed a terrible attitude to trans people today. " I think that at least today,tolerance,acceptance and inclusivity are established as general principles,even if we sometimes fail to live up to them.Hopefully,in 30 years time,people will look back and see that we were at least trying to be nice. Sometimes it seems that in times gone by,people were actively trying to be hateful and revelling in it. | |||

We continue to progress thankfully, and whilst we looking back at previous generations tutting and shaking our heads, they have fundamentally contributed to progress. We're all work in progress and future generations will change and see things differently, because they've been taught to do so. Previous attitudes are disdainful in many ways, but to believe current attitudes aren't flawed also would be dangerous. | |||

"In the past it was the Jamaican immigrant or the Indian or Pakistani and then further back the Jewish people.Today its the Muslim and the North African immigrants.The Tv shows and the media might not be overtly racist.Our prejudices haven't gone away they've found a new target. No doubt history will judge us .With equal disdain as our ancestors. " Our forebears were a noble and tolerant folk, they created a welfare state for us and opened it up to the world... For me these attacks and hatred towards our forefathers are what is destroying and weakening this island kingdom... I note its the so called policticaly correct, the communists, marxists and lefties that seek to weaken and undermine in every way they can this fine tolerant and freedom loving island kingdom | |||

"This island kingdom and its christian heritage has done so much for the world,.... And its the envy of the earth despite its ungratefull haters and its traitors in its midst that seek every opportunity to weaken and demonise it and its native peoples..." This is a fantastic country and probably the best in the world to live in overall. But I don't think the actions of the past have been all that great. Unless you believe slavery/subjugation/killing off of natives etc is a good thing. | |||

You never answer any points anyone raises and come out with utter garbage. I think I'm aware of what my ancestors thought more than you do. Where did you read about what they said and thought? Do you understand any of the Indian subcontinental languages? Anyway no point trying to talk to you as I'll get more sense out of my goldfish. | |||
